This study investigated whether (a) fear of negative evaluation (FNE) and fear of positive evaluation (FPE) prospectively predict the other, (b) FPE predicts social anxiety controlling for FNE, and (c) FPE predicts social anxiety symptoms but not general anxiety and depression. Data were collected from a student sample at two time points over six months. The cross-lagged structural equation modeling results revealed that FNE and FPE do not prospectively predict the other, FPE positively predicts social anxiety symptoms controlling for FNE, and FPE does not significantly predict general anxiety or depression. These results confirmed that FNE and FPE are distinctively related to social anxiety. Moreover, the study findings indicated that FPE may be a factor unique to social anxiety.
（a）对负面评价的恐惧（FNE）和对正面评价的恐惧（FPE）是否能前瞻性地预测对方；（b）在控制FNE的情况下，FPE是否能预测社交焦虑；以及（c）FPE是否能预测社交焦虑症状，但不能预测一般焦虑和抑郁。在六个月内的两个时间点从一个学生样本中收集了数据。交叉滞后结构方程建模结果显示，FNE和FPE不能前瞻性地预测对方，在控制FNE的情况下，FPE能正向预测社交焦虑症状，且FPE不能显著预测一般焦虑或抑郁。这些结果证实了FNE和FPE与社交焦虑有明显的关联。此外，研究结果表明，FPE可能是社交焦虑独有的一个因素。
